WHATSINTHECORNER won a handicap here last September and has been racing in better company this summer. His rider's claim may just hand him the advantage here though he wouldn't want too much rain. Kilkeaskins First has mainly been running over fences though is better over hurdles while Longacre Square hasn't shown much since landing a Downpatrick handicap in May. Yaiza completed a double at this time a year ago and should get into contention.
